The High Sparrow has this air of grand-plan scheming about him, and is played by such a talented actor, and he still hasn't really done all that much beyond inconveniencing the movers and shakers of King's Landing (certainly, if there is a grand plan, it seems to be in the still fairly nascent stages), that I'm not…
